Can courses be delivered on‑site at my workplace?
Yes, all of our first aid courses can be delivered onsite at your workplace.
We regularly provide in-house training tailored to your organisation’s environment, policies, and specific risks. This ensures that learning is directly relevant to your team and can be applied immediately in your setting.
On-site delivery is particularly beneficial for organisations training multiple staff, as it offers a cost-effective and convenient solution while maintaining a high-quality, interactive learning experience.
Who are these social care courses designed for?
Our social care courses are designed for professionals working across adult and children’s services who have a responsibility for supporting the health, wellbeing, and safety of others.
This includes:
• Care assistants and support workers • Senior carers and team leaders • Registered managers and supervisors • Healthcare assistants and nursing staff • Staff working in residential, domiciliary, supported living, and community settings
The courses are suitable for both new starters and experienced staff, providing essential knowledge, practical skills, and ongoing professional development.
Can these courses help with legal and regulatory compliance?
Yes, our social care training is developed in line with current legislation, national standards, and regulatory frameworks to support organisations in meeting their compliance requirements.
This includes alignment with: • Care Quality Commission (CQC) expectations • Safeguarding legislation and statutory guidance • The Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) • Health and safety requirements
By completing relevant training, organisations can demonstrate that staff are appropriately trained, competent, and up to date with best practice, supporting safer, compliant service delivery.
Are courses suitable for staff in both adult and children’s services?
Yes, many of our courses are suitable for both adult and children’s services, with core principles that apply across different settings.
Where required, we can tailor content to reflect the specific safeguarding frameworks, legislation, and practical considerations relevant to either adults or children’s services.
This ensures that the training remains relevant, accurate, and aligned to the needs of your workforce.
Who should take first aid training?
First aid training is suitable for anyone who has a responsibility for health and safety within their organisation, including designated workplace first aiders, managers, supervisors, and frontline staff.
It is particularly important for those working in environments where there is a duty of care for others, such as health and social care, education, childcare, and community settings.
Our courses are designed to support both those new to first aid and those renewing or expanding their knowledge, helping learners develop the confidence to respond effectively to incidents ranging from minor injuries to life-threatening emergencies.
Is mental health first aid included?
Our core first aid courses focus primarily on physical first aid and emergency response. However, elements of communication, reassurance, and supporting individuals in distress are embedded throughout the training.
For organisations looking to develop a deeper understanding of mental health, we also offer dedicated mental health and wellbeing training programmes. These can be delivered alongside or in addition to first aid training to provide a more holistic approach to staff wellbeing and support.
Why is first aid training important for my organisation?
First aid training plays a critical role in creating a safe and compliant working environment. It ensures that staff are prepared to respond quickly and effectively in emergency situations, helping to reduce the severity of injuries and, in some cases, save lives.
It also supports organisations in meeting their legal responsibilities under health and safety legislation, while promoting a proactive safety culture.
By investing in first aid training, organisations can:
• Improve workplace safety and preparedness • Build staff confidence in emergency situations • Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements • Support the wellbeing of employees, service users, and visitors
Ultimately, it empowers staff to act calmly and effectively when it matters most.
Is fire safety training mandatory by law?
Yes, employers have a legal responsibility to provide appropriate fire safety training to their staff under UK health and safety legislation, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
This requires organisations to ensure that employees receive adequate training on fire risks, prevention measures, and emergency procedures.
Failure to provide appropriate training can result in non-compliance, increased risk to life, and potential legal consequences. Regular training helps ensure your organisation meets its statutory obligations and maintains a safe working environment.

Excellent PBS and Mental Health First Aid Training 👍 highly recommend the training from Empeiria.
1st Enabled Ltd
Thank you very much Empeiria Training - the feedback from all who attended has been excellent across the team (and that is not always the case when I put training together!) so I'm really pleased that we've got this over the line. We're already reviewing some of our key cases where neurodiversity is a factor, looking at them with fresh eyes and assessing what we can do differently - which is exactly what I wanted. Please pass on my thanks to your expert by experience and your colleagues.
Manchester City Council
The training given was highly informative and will be put go great use within my role at 1st Enable. The trainer made us all feel at ease and encouraged us to use real scenarios and experiences that we feel that the training could be put to use and how it could be used to improve life for the people we support. It is training like this that really enables us to do the best for the people we support.
1st Enabled Ltd
Our senior staff have been able to take away core skills to develop our current PBS plans, which includes alerting staff to fast & slow triggers & adding in outside agency's assessment conclusions. We are confident that our PBS plans will improve significantly.
IntegraCare
The course had really good content and a good mix of presentations and discussions and the interactivity of the trainer was brilliant.
The PBS training delivered was very insightful and very useful for all staff members. The class was well presented and entertaining. We were very invested and engaged at all the information presented as everyone gained a clearer understanding on the situations they face regarding challenging behaviour. I highly recommend PBS training.

The Training will help me to improve the quality of the services that i provide to the people i support, during the training lots of examples were given which helped me to apply it to various situations. The trainer is an excellent facilitator which helped me to put things into context.
1st Enabled Ltd
I think the safeguarding training that Empeiria provide is brilliant, all other safeguarding training that i have attended has been the standard training, Empeiria's Training is really detailed which helps us to really understand why we do what we do, what has happened in the past and the importance of following the safeguarding process.
1st Enabled Ltd
The moving and handling training was very informative; the trainer went out of her way to ensure she went through any scenario's that we had and how we might be able to safely move people if these situations happen again in the future.
1st Enabled Ltd
Following the training I know that I would be confident to administer first aid efficiently and effectively. The people we support will feel safer knowing that I have the ability to help them if they ever need it. The trainer made the training fun and engaging, I enjoyed it, thank you.
